Tasting Notes
Appearance: Bright pale gold with green reflections, characteristic of young Grand Cru Chablis.
Nose: Complex aromas of white fruits like peach and pear, complemented by white flowers, linden, and a subtle hint of flint.
Palate: Powerful, structured, and harmonious on the palate. Flavors of white-fleshed fruits are elevated by lively acidity and intense minerality, typical of Chablis wines. The long, saline finish with hints of citrus and hazelnut reveals a perfect balance between freshness and complexity.
Aging Potential
This Chablis Grand Cru has outstanding aging potential. It can be enjoyed now for its freshness and vivacity, but will improve over time, reaching its peak after 10 to 15 years, or even longer. With age, it will develop more tertiary aromas of honey, dried fruits, and truffle.
